Synthesis of Prepolymers of Poly(glycerol-<i>co</i>-diacids) Based on Sebacic and Succinic Acid Mixtures by Bruno Godinho (15361999)

“…We concluded that the reaction time is correlated with the ratio of diacids used, that is, the increase in succinic acid is proportional to a decrease in the duration of the reaction. In fact, the reaction of poly­(glycerol sebacate) (PGS 1:1) is twice as slow as the reaction of poly­(glycerol succinate) (PGSu 1:1). …”

“…Complexes <b>4</b>, <b>6</b>, and <b>11</b> were obtained as enantiopure products (<b>4</b> and <b>6</b> as enantiopure <b>a</b>; <b>11</b> as enantiopure <b>b</b>), while complexes <b>1</b>–<b>3</b>, <b>5</b>, and <b>7</b>–<b>10</b> as a pair of diastereomers, but in different ratios, which have been proved by X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopic studies. …”

Data from: Does green stem photosynthesis affect plant drought tolerance and recovery in avocado? by Gregory Goldsmith (22088747)

“…However, we observed an increase in hydraulic conductivity during the drought period with an increase in the concentration of sugars in the sapwood and a decrease in the concentration of starch, suggesting osmotic adjustment. nulltheless, the contribution of carbon gain through stem photosynthesis may not play a significant role in hydraulic functioning of avocado under these conditions.…”
